"Q: Do you really distance yourself from your subject? I mean, what would you do if presented with a young girl burning to death? A: about 1/60 at f/5.6."  atributed to Robert Cappa

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Microflora

These photos show tiny plants which are usually ignored by the photographer in the field as they do not have anything special about them. They just provide the background for other shots. However, when one decides to focus his camera on them, they reveal the beauty, complexity and symmetry which still exists at this tiny level. All shots taken on mount Hymettus, Attica, Greece during the winter months.
